A Comparison of Multiple Microplate Formats for Use in the LANCE® and AlphaScreen® Assays
06 Aug 2010: This application note demonstrates white solid, clear and round bottom microplates are the optimal choices for both LANCE® and AlphaScreen Assays. White 384 and 1536 well microplates give the greatest assay window with minimal cross-talk. LANCE control beads and AlphaScreen Omnibeads are also shown to be useful tools for optimizing and validating microplate and instrument choices for experimental protocols.
